The title of the upcoming horror film, "Evil Twin", alone, shows the audacity of the director, as the title is exactly the same as that of a representative Korean horror drama.
Although "Evil Twin" is director Kim Ji-hwan's directorial debut, he is a renowned horror film expert among Korean filmmakers. Kim has displayed his genuine affection towards the so-called "cursed genre" while writing horror film columns in "FILM 2.0" magazine, based on his experience from watching several thousand horror movies.
Historic Korean horror movies – best represented by "A Public Cemetery of Wolha" – disappeared after the 1986 movie "Woman`s Wail". Ghost movies such as "Whispering Corridors" and "A Tale of Two Sisters", set in modern times, replaced them. Kim stated his aspiration of returning to the true roots of Korean horror movies.
